5 Ways to Improve Fuel Efficiency:<\/h1>\n

Check the Tire Pressure<\/font><\/h2>\n

Under-inflated tires are a huge contribution to poor gas mileage.\u00a0 It can increase the fuel consumption as much as 6%.\u00a0 By regularly checking your tire pressure and ensuring they are properly inflated, you can save more fuel with every trip.\u00a0 Tires should be inspected once a month and done so before driving, while the vehicle is still cold.\u00a0 Do not let radial tires fool you; they may look inflated but can actually have low tire pressure.\u00a0 Always check anyway.<\/p>\n

Use Less AC<\/font><\/h2>\n

During the hot summer months, your car\u2019s ac unit contributes to almost 10% of increased fuel use.\u00a0 On cooler days, avoid using the car ac unit by rolling down the windows and keeping a cool beverage in your cup holder.<\/p>\n

Avoid Jack-Rabbit Driving<\/font><\/h2>\n

Jack-rabbit driving looks similar to a person learning to drive in first gear for the first time.\u00a0 Abrupt starts and hard stops is what we refer to as jack-rabbit driving.\u00a0 Aggressive driving causes your vehicle to use more gas.\u00a0 This can happen when we are stuck in traffic, or in a hurry to get somewhere. \u00a0Avoid this type of driving and increase your gas mileage.<\/p>\n

Obey Speed Limits<\/font><\/h2>\n

Another way to get better gas mileage is to maintain a steady speed when driving.\u00a0 Accelerating and decelerating causes your car to pull more fuel.\u00a0 If you typically drive ten miles over the speed limit on the highway, try going slower to save gas.\u00a0 You will see a difference within a few days.\u00a0 Also, on long stretches of highway, use cruise control.\u00a0 This helps regulate the amount of fuel being consumed per mile.<\/p>\n

Drive Less<\/font><\/h2>\n

The most obvious, yet, difficult remedy to poor gas mileage is too much driving.\u00a0 If you can make the commitment to drive less often, it can greatly reduce the amount of fuel you consume per week.\u00a0 Try taking buses, organizing car pools, and walking to closer destinations.\u00a0 Not only can this be good for your fuel budget, it is a great way to improve the environment.<\/p>\n
